 "In a mystery;" not meaning by this aught that was unintelligible or vague or obscure, but truth which could not be discovered by the wit of man, and was never before made known in the living oracles of God. (Notes on 1 Corinthians 2:6-10 by W. Kelly)
 It is Christ exalted on high and invested with a new glory, outside all the old revelations, and founded on the cross where the world, led on by its prince, rejected Him, but thereon glorified in God, and given as head over all things to the church which is His body. This therefore the apostle adds was “the hidden" wisdom, “which God predetermined before the ages for our glory." It formed no part of His ways either in creation or in providence. (Notes on 1 Corinthians 2:6-10 by W. Kelly)
